What exactly do you think Scotch-Irish are?
Scottish dudes who lived in Ulster, and then came to America.  Scottish != Anglo-Saxon. :hmm:

My understanding is they were a mixture of lowland Scots and northern English chavs.

Yeah, they were from the now more-or-less forgotten border culture, about 1/3 English IIRC - but the "English" and "Scots" within the group had far more in common with each other than with their compatriots.

And lowland Scots are of Anglo-Saxon ancestry too.

No shit.  When did they move there, and when did they become lowland Scots (as opposed to chavs)?

Maximus

I believe lowland Scotland was part of one or more of the old Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms. Northumbria(?) So I guess they moved there around the same time as the rest of the Anglo-Saxons. They became Scots because they were part of the Kingdom of Scotland afaik.

A part of my family comes from some shitty border scottish clan. Someone summarized what they did back in the day in some history: "They supplemented their income by taking livestock from the English side of the border. This border rustling stopped during wartime, however, when they dedicated themselves to the service of their king, which consisted of raiding into English territory."
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Someone should tell the Republicans everyone who makes it to US soil is an Anglo-Saxon.  It might ease tensions around the immigration issue.

That crowd was hostile to immigrants even when they were anglo-saxons.

You're lucky, it was only recently released in France on DVD/Blu-ray (grab one for Ide).
